What to Bring, and What to Expect:
We will be providing: Seed starting compost, undertrays to hold seedling pots, a variety of seeds, wooden seed labels and pens for labeling so you’ll know what is growing in your pots, and our knowledge.
You should bring: small containers (like individual-serving yogurt or small sour cream containers) or home-made newspaper pots (see tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_x6OSKQr4o) for your seedlings to grow in, and your enthusiasm!
There is no charge for the workshop, but any donations will go towards offsetting the cost of our seed donation program which sends vegetable, herb and flower seeds to over 90 food pantries, school gardens, community gardens, prison gardens and seed libraries across the country.
Ian and Lia will be there to help you chose which seeds are best for your growing space, help you sow your chosen seeds, to tell you about the needs of your seedlings as they grow, and generally answer any seed starting or biodynamic gardening questions you might have. We’ll carry on with the workshop rain or shine, so come dressed for the weather!

Peppers, eggplants and herbs are springing up in our hotboxes, ready for both our own fields and the May plant sale (Stay tuned!) We’re sowing tomatoes this week, along with ground cherries and Schoenbrunn physalis, a Cape gooseberry type. Lettuces will be sown this week, along with a host of flowers to be transplanted out when the weather is warmer. We’re weeding our onion transplants, and pricking out herbs (sown in February).
Don’t worry, though, if you are planning on planting herbs there is still time (and Thyme!) many herbs such as thyme, lavender, sage and oregano which are perennial and take a while to get going can be sown now, and either planted out later when the plants are bigger, or you can plant them into bigger pots, keeping them outside in the summer and in a sunny, cool place (it need not be completely frost free–a greenhouse or enclosed sunny porch are ideal) for planting out next year. We’ve had great success, especially with lavender, using this method.
Herbs such as basil, chives and parsley can sown now for transplanting out after frost, and dill and cilantro can be sown in a few weeks–or direct sown in the garden a week or two before the last frost. For tender herbs, such as basil, dill and cilantro, we recommend doing several smaller sowings about 3 weeks apart, to ensure a continuous supply.
Did you Know? Poppies and larkspur can be direct sown in the autumn, or as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring! These lovely beauties welcome pollinators and are carefree color to bring easy joy to your summer garden.
